I would normally say 'come again' - but I think that's the idea.


When stories like this surface, you normally think 'why don't people engage a bit of common sense and look at what things actually are'.

It's this bit that gets me

Quote:

The government had considered making brothels an exception on moral grounds, but decided that it would be too difficult to distinguish them from bars


So, they even saw that something like this might happen, 'but decided that it would be too difficult to distinguish them from bars' - what sort of bars do these politicians frequent?
On reading the article, I thought it'd be one of those things where 'well meaning people have passed some law' for some benefit or other only to find some flaw that needs addressing, but they have already thought of it ?

Forcing anyone to do anything of a sexual nature they don't want to do is in my opinion sexual abuse.
One can only hope that people power now forces the government to make amends.
I'm not against brothels advertising if that countries government has made prostitution legal, nor am I against people wanting to do such a job, but not everyone is emotionally / mentally cut out to do something like this surely ?

I presume the sorts of bars where women are openly flaunting it for cash. It happens, Minty. It happens.
